I'll definitely be building side egress into it. The shade clothe we got to replace the 30fter is in 20 by 5 foot sections, so I might even just use 3 of them instead of 4, and leave some room at the bottom for air travel and have some of the corners secured with bungees so we can access the center....

Space saving. Without the gaps between the huts, we dont have to have the longitudinal stays taking up room thatd be better utilized as shaded space for tents. Also, our sizes are all weird. We've got two tents coming with a 15x10, two tents coming with a 20x10, and two with a 30x10. With a 4' lead ...

Anybody made a super long monkey hut before? Trying to combine 3 our our campmates monkey huts into one big SOB. Like 65-70 ft long (10x65). Thinking side stays every 20 feet or so to keep it secure to the ground, with opening flaps to access mid tube, trying to fit 6 tents under it. Anybody got any...

Our two vehicles are hauling around 90-100 gallons total, and coming from seattle, so filling up close by is really the only option, especially with the two trailers for our camp. Is there somewhere between clamath falls and gerlach that would be better since were coming in from the north?

Anyone know when the Billion Bunny march is this year?

Bump for 2018! Anyone know if/when water service in Gerlach starts?

Hello all. This year our camp is building a shower for our 20 some campmates. This is brand spanking new for us, so we would like some veteran advice. I was going to take a pallet and sand it down and make it nice and cozy for our feet, and throw it in a small "evap" pond. PVC pole up out of the pla...

So...

I have to shave my beard. For a firefighting recertification class. I have the choice of doing it right before or right after the Burn. Last year my beard did ok, I just couldn't really brush it out, but I am not sure which direction to go.
Any suggestions?

Sailor by trade, knots are my specialty actually. My structure is going to be made of steel top rail though, so paracord is definitely out. I think I'm leaning towards ratchet straps for ease, I just figured I'd get the vets to lend their opinions on what's worked best for them in the past. I know t...

Hey all, I'm building a new shade structure for my camp at Battlestar Erotica this year, and I was hoping some of you could chime in on the pros and cons of using ratchet straps vs used climbing rope or something similar. I haven't used the repurposed ripe before, but I don't know if I should need i...

Will there be another TEDx this year? I haven't heard a peep from anyone and their website has yet to be updated from last year.

Hello all. I was wondering if I could get some advice from you all about modifying the monkey hut design for travel. I was thinking about cutting my 10' pvc ribs in half, to fit in the back of my truck. I know it's been done, anyone have some advice for reassembly on-playa? I was thinking a 1-2 foot...

Birgin here. Got some questiuns. I got a wide brimed hat for the day, it's got a cloth tie so it doesn't fly away like a bamboo saucer, but I was wondering about my other hats. Should I attach some sort of tie for them? (Couple trilbys and a top hat) I've seen some military style hats people have br...

Thanks guys, I'll bring water for 9 days most likely and try to clear out that Monday, depending on if i get a trailer or not.

Hey all, virgin here. This will be my first year, and I just want some clarification. I thought burning man was a week? But the dates are 27th august -4th of september. Thats 9 days. Is there early entry or late departure or something I'm missing? When are we allowed in and when do we depart? I'm co...
